John Popper
Last night I was watching Last Call w/ Carson Daly and found it inspiring (like some episode of the Dick Cavett Show) that Carson Daly would have John Popper on to do a little "improv" type number that has no chance of any commercial play.
For Johnn Popper was just-up on stage blowing his harmonica and trading-off and feeding-off of the percussionist playing-the-sticks on half barrel (kegs) and plastic containers. It was something you might see on a street corner of the energetic & eclectic South Side of Pittsburgh and not something you would expect to see on a major TV network = A+++ = It was definitely hot = A+++
I believe I owe Mr. Carson Daly an apology - as I once had a disdain for him as I considered him a someone who only had an agenda oriented for corporate cookie cutter commercial "friendly unit shifters." And, now, here he is doing something so cool I didn't care if I watched any more TV for the evening/early early red-eye morn.
